I only a skimpy cloth to cover your exi
tremities? Probably not, but now you
can have your chance to wrestle
sumo-style Wednesday nights at the
Naked Iguana.
If you're brave enough to don the
plastic sumo suit, which comes
equipped with black hair tied in a
bun, you also have the chance to win
up to $200. This excitement, plus the
chance to make a fool out of yourself
in front of a crowd, is what is making
this "sport" gain notoriety in Columbia.
The Naked Iguana has designated
Wednesday College Night, and anyone
over the age of 18 is welcome to
participate in the event. There is a 55
cover charge for those under 21.
lo make things rair during the
bouts, said Tommy Sluder, general
manager of the Iguana, there are male
and female categories for wrestling.
Two girls challenge each other, and
the best two out of three wins $100.
The same goes for the guys, and if no
girls participate, the prize is raised to
$200.
